10.22.1
कुह॑ श्रु॒त इन्द्रः॒ कस्मि॑न्न॒द्य जने॑ मि॒त्रो न श्रू॑यते ।
ऋषी॑णां वा॒ यः क्षये॒ गुहा॑ वा॒ चर्कृ॑षे गि॒रा ॥
Where is Indra heard of today, and among which people is he praised like a friend? I call with song him who is hidden in the seers' dwelling or in the cave.
10.22.2
इ॒ह श्रु॒त इन्द्रो॑ अ॒स्मे अ॒द्य स्तवे॑ व॒ज्र्यृची॑षमः ।
मि॒त्रो न यो जने॒~ष्वा यश॑श्च॒क्रे असा॒म्या ॥
Here Indra is renowned; today for us I praise him, the wielder of the thunderbolt, most radiant. He who like a friend has bestowed fame among people is unassailable.
10.22.3
म॒हो यस्पतिः॒ शव॑सो॒ असा॒~म्या म॒हो नृ॒म्णस्य॑ तूतु॒जिः ।
भ॒र्ता वज्र॑स्य धृ॒ष्णोः पि॒ता पु॒त्रमि॑व प्रि॒यम् ॥
He who is lord of great strength is unassailable, the swift driver of great manly vigor. Bearer of the thunderbolt and of firm might, he is a father, like a father to a dear son.
10.22.4
यु॒जा॒नो अश्वा॒ वात॑स्य॒ धुनी॑ दे॒वो दे॒वस्य॑ वज्रिवः ।
स्यन्ता॑ प॒था वि॒रुक्म॑ता सृजा॒न स्तो॒ष्यध्व॑नः ॥
O god, wielder of the thunderbolt, you who yoke the two swift horses of the wind and move along the bright path, opening the ways, you are praised.
10.22.5
त्वं त्या चि॒द्वात॒स्याश्वागा॑ ऋ॒ज्रा त्मना॒ वह॑ध्यै ।
ययो॑र्दे॒वो न मर्त्यो॑ य॒न्ता नकि॑र्वि॒दाय्यः॑ ॥
You have come to those two horses of the wind, swift, to carry by their own power. Their driver is a god, not a mortal; no one can stop them.
10.22.6
अध॒ ग्मन्तो॒शना॑ पृच्छते वां॒ कद॑र्था न॒ आ गृ॒हम् ।
आ ज॑ग्मथुः परा॒काद्दि॒वश्च॒ ग्मश्च॒ मर्त्य॑म् ॥
Then Uśanas, drawing near, asks you two: O two wanderers, how have you come to our house? From afar, from heaven and from earth, you have come to the mortal.
10.22.7
आ न॑ इन्द्र पृक्षसे अ॒स्माकं॒ ब्रह्मोद्य॑तम् ।
तत्त्वा॑ याचाम॒हेऽवः॒ शुष्णं॒ यद्धन्नमा॑नुषम् ॥
O Indra, come forward toward our raised prayer. This help we beg of you: that you strike down Śuṣṇa, the inhuman one.
10.22.8
अ॒क॒र्मा दस्यु॑र॒भि नो॑ अम॒न्तुर॒न्यव्र॑तो॒ अमा॑नुषः ।
त्वं तस्या॑मित्रह॒न्वध॑र्दा॒सस्य॑ दम्भय ॥
The ritually inactive dasyu, hostile to us, thoughtless, following other vows, inhuman, comes against us. O slayer of foes, hurl your bolt at him; subdue that servant.
10.22.9
त्वं न॑ इन्द्र शूर॒ शूरै॑रु॒त त्वोता॑सो ब॒र्हणा॑ ।
पु॒रु॒त्रा ते॒ वि पू॒र्तयो॒ नव॑न्त क्षो॒णयो॑ यथा ॥
Be with us, O Indra, O hero, with heroes, with those under your protection, and with the rite of strengthening. Your many works spread wide and bow down, as the regions do.
10.22.10
त्वं तान्वृ॑त्र॒हत्ये॑ चोदयो॒ नॄन्का॑र्पा॒णे शू॑र वज्रिवः ।
गुहा॒ यदी॑ कवी॒नां वि॒शां नक्ष॑त्रशवसाम् ॥
In the slaying of Vṛtra you impelled those men, O hero, in the Kārpāṇa contest, O wielder of the thunderbolt, when in the cave the seers and the clans had their star-born strength.
10.22.11
म॒क्षू ता त॑ इन्द्र दा॒नाप्न॑स आक्षा॒णे शू॑र वज्रिवः ।
यद्ध॒ शुष्ण॑स्य द॒म्भयो॑ जा॒तं विश्वं॑ स॒याव॑भिः ॥
Quickly may those works of the generous one come, O Indra, in the ākṣāṇa contest, O hero, O wielder of the thunderbolt, when you subdue all born of Śuṣṇa together with your companions.
10.22.12
माकु॒ध्र्य॑गिन्द्र शूर॒ वस्वी॑र॒स्मे भू॑वन्न॒भिष्ट॑यः ।
व॒यंव॑यं त आसां सु॒म्ने स्या॑म वज्रिवः ॥
O Indra, O hero, may none turn away; may the wealth-giving protections be ours. May each of us be in the favor of these of yours, O wielder of the thunderbolt.
10.22.13
अ॒स्मे ता त॑ इन्द्र सन्तु स॒त्याहिं॑सन्तीरुप॒स्पृशः॑ ।
वि॒द्याम॒ यासां॒ भुजो॑ धेनू॒नां न व॑ज्रिवः ॥
Indra, may those waters be true for us, touching without harming. O thunderbolt-bearer, may we know their streams as one knows the udders of the cows.
10.22.14
अ॒ह॒स्ता यद॒पदी॒ वर्ध॑त॒ क्षाः शची॑भिर्वे॒द्याना॑म् ।
शुष्णं॒ परि॑ प्रदक्षि॒णिद्वि॒श्वाय॑वे॒ नि शि॑श्नथः ॥
When the handless, footless earth grew, by the powers of the sacrificial altars, you circled the Śuṣṇa to the right and pressed him down for all peoples.
10.22.15
पिबा॑पि॒बेदि॑न्द्र शूर॒ सोमं॒ मा रि॑षण्यो वसवान॒ वसुः॒ सन् ।
उ॒त त्रा॑यस्व गृण॒तो म॒घोनो॑ म॒हश्च॑ रा॒यो रे॒वत॑स्कृधी नः ॥
Drink the soma again and again, Indra, O hero; being the giver of wealth, do not harm us. Protect the one who praises and the generous, and make us rich with great wealth.
